prolongamos

Prolongamos is a verb form used in Spanish and Portuguese. In both languages it corresponds to the first-person plural present indicative of the verb prolongar, meaning to lengthen, extend, or prolong. The form indicates that the action of making something longer is happening in the present.

The root of the word is Latin prolongare, from pro- “forward” and longus “long.” In Spanish, prolongamos is the present tense form of prolongar; in Portuguese, nós prolongamos has the same written form but is pronounced differently and used with its own grammatical nuances.

Usage notes: Prolongamos is employed when speakers want to express extending duration, deadlines, or sequences. In Spanish, common contexts include meetings, contracts, or projects. In Portuguese, it is used similarly, though prorrogar or alongar may be more common in formal or technical contexts.

Examples:

- Spanish: Prolongamos la reunión para cubrir todos los temas.

- Portuguese: Nós prolongamos o prazo até o final do mês.

Related terms: prolongar, alongar, extender, dilatar. In legal language, prorrogar (Spanish) or prorogar (Portuguese) is often preferred for deadlines and terms, while prolongar remains common in general use.
